Patented "Compaction Technology" provides the capability to transmit video information in a secure mode, with significantly less bandwidth required. More Video, Less Bandwidth.

The reason most video quality is poor is today's compression techniques remove data from the original in order to reduce the information size being transmitted or stored

Denton, TX (PRWEB)September 4, 2008

Video technology as we know it is about to change with Shomi Technologies' revolutionary Compaction Technology, the new video bandwidth reduction technology that boasts zero data loss with amazing storage capabilities.

Compaction Technology takes original video content and reduces the payload content without omitting any information - there are no compression algorithms or data removed. The signal is completely unaltered, but takes 20 to 75 percent less space to store.

"We've all seen poor quality video on the internet or in surveillance footage. Compaction Technology is the solution to this problem," said Mark Ford, VP of Operations at Shomi Technologies. "The reason most video quality is poor is today's compression techniques remove data from the original in order to reduce the information size being transmitted or stored," explains Ford. Compaction Technology doesn't do this. We keep 100 percent of the signal intact while still reducing the data size by up to 75 percent."

What makes this possible is Shomi Technologies' new approach to bandwidth reduction. Compaction Technology uses analog-based technology, as opposed to digital technology which most current bandwidth reduction systems use.

Compaction Technology has the potential of changing the face of video technology, not only affecting online videos, but meeting critical needs in the surveillance community, the medical industry and many other areas.

"We already have a lot of interest, since bandwidth issues raise a huge problem anywhere video is transmitted and stored," said Ford.

The technology was demonstrated live at the Airborne Law Enforcement Show in June and was met with overwhelming support. Another demonstration is scheduled at the ASIS International Convention in Atlanta September 15-18.
